The New Jewish Table

W

hen Todd Gray, who grew
up Episcopalian, married
Ellen Kassoff Gray, the
aspiring chef with a passion for fresh
seasonal American ingredients was
introduced into the world of Eastern
European Jewish cuisine. The couple's
new cookbook, The New Jewish Table:
Modern Seasonal Recipes for Traditional
Dishes (St. Martin's Press; $35), explores
the melding of those two different cook-
ing cultures in its 125 recipes, reinvent-
ing traditional Jewish cooking with fresh
seasonal ingredients and innovative
approaches to traditional Jewish dishes.
In 1999, the couple opened the
acclaimed Equinox Restaurant in the
nation's capital near the White House.
The book's recipes, often served at the
restaurant, are divided by the four sea-
sons, each with six chapters — Brunch,
Starters, Lunch, Dinner, Sides and

Desserts — and with
menu suggestions for
holidays including Rosh
TH - NEW
Hashanah, Yom Kippur,
JEWISH TAB,LE'
Chanukah and Passover.
The cookbook also
includes background commentary from
the couple, full-color photographs and
sidebars from Washington, D.C., elites.
Recipes for a Passover meal include
Salad of Roasted Heirloom Beets with
Capers and Pistachios; Not Exactly Aunt
Lil's Matzah Ball Soup; Baked Gefilte
Fish; Todd's Modern-Day Brisket;
Quinoa Salad with Figs and Mint;
Wilted Spinach with Sesame Seeds;
Mango, Pineapple and Pomegranate
Salad (a great dessert after a big meal);
and Apricot Hamantaschen (substitute
ground blanched almonds for flour, omit
the baking powder and shape as thumb-
print cookies or slice-and- bake cookies).

inner of "Best New Kosher
for Passover Product" at
Kosherfest 2012 last
fall, Matzolah, say creators Wayne
Silverman and Scott Gantwerker of
Foodman LLC, a specialty kosher food
manufacturer, is "irresistibly delicious
and miraculously nutritious — not
only on Passover, but year-round."
The matzah granola breakfast and
nosh, packaged in a canister, is a
wholesome snack, a great topping to
"crunch up" yogurt, ice cream or oat-
meal, and also can be used to make
matzah brie, kugel, cookies, brownies,

cobblers and more.
Matzolah is
3L'w
made with natural
ingredients such
as Vermont maple
syrup, California
raisins, almonds, walnuts and pecans.
It's a good source of fiber and is sodi-
um and cholesterol free.
Distributed to national grocery
stores by Streit's, this year it will appear
in Whole Foods Markets in an exclu-
sive whole wheat version. It also may
be ordered directly through the manu-
facturer: www.foodmannosh.com .
